The Name of This POLL Is...- ILM artist poll #82 - TALKING HEADS - (voting is open until Sunday March 26, 2017)

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiir" = harbinger of next three tracks

it always reminded me of windowlicker

yeah, first half is maybe the best. I love air except for the part where they sing "air". That part annoys me for some reason.

"air" can hurt you too

no idea how someone could put True Stories above 77!

Just barely, but yeah. I could give a long answer but the short one is, more tunes I like.

I never used to like 'Electric Guitar' much but I've realised over the last couple of days how great the drumming is.

Frantz-Weymouth skeptics are directed to their work on FOM.

Drugs has such great background stuff - the respirator/hisses, treated vocals, and those weird bird sounds

aka their Pere Ubu song?

Drugs has always been one of my favorite things from FOM – I will admit that I came to it from a "Listen for Eno" perspective and adore all the AMS echo triggers. Is it more atmosphere than melody? I suppose but the chorus is sublimely unsettling – and Byrne's guitar deconstruction at the close is equal to anything, say, Henry Kaiser ever did.

I'm a fan.

as i suggested upthread it uncoils fully live

aka their Pere Ubu song?

it really is

Help Needed I would like to ask for some help with the images of this poll. Similar to what Thermo Thinwall did for my Spoon poll or pplains did for Steely Dan. Email the TH box if interested and I will get back to you when I get home from work in a few hours.

I really need the help as I don't want just album images for this poll. Thanks

I suppose that is also air coming out of Frantz's mouth when he "Jaaaaaaaammmmeeess BrrrrooooOOWN"s, too

still need help with images, no one has offered yet.

OK very happy, i think we are good to go!

i will be sending out confirmations but none have gone out yet. i think the first round will be tonight, to give my co-poll running an idea of what is going to place.

can't tell you how happy i an with who is going to do images. it will be a perfect match.

rauschenberg?

Tina and Chris aren't doing much.

I'm gonna vote but it will be towards the end of this deadline

listened to Naked last night and liked it more than I remembered, even found some room for a track or two.

One of the main reasons I quit doing ballot polls is because everybody stepped up their rollout images game past the point I wanted to keep up with.

haha if I ever end up doing that Royal Trux poll it will all be random scrawls in MS Paint

I hope the poll images are powerpoint slides

more images about buildings and food

gave up trying to compile a ballot for this because I was just finding trying to choose between tracks depressing, but I really hope that I Want to Live places

nooo come on man just submit an unranked ballot!

and put "i want to live" on it

^^^

my hope would be it's whoever did the images for the Kate Bush poll that is doing them this time, because those were remarkable and I'd gladly see more of the same.

just zoom on different frames of the name of this band cover

... or each Polaroid that makes up More Songs.

pages from Stay Up Late

I have listened to Cities at high volume one-hundred-and-fifty times this week while sorting this ballot and drinking too much coffee. I'm a little freaked out.

can't tell you how excited i'm starting to get about this poll. the results so far are well... interesting. i listened to Little Creatures today myself for the first time in years and loved it probably more than i think i should have. much more coming soon.

btw, i'm taking off work to do this poll.

let's just say i'm going BIG.

please keep voting, the more the better the results.

I had a list I compiled for my blog; I'll send it this week.

I've got it figured out. Ballot coming by the weekend.

It takes
good songs
some bad songs

haha

One you would expect, one you might not

Just voted

feeling bad about where I placed Girlfriend is Better. Girlfriend is Better is better than that.

Just threw together a poorly informed slapdash ballot. I like my Talking Heads to be really manic, it seems.

hooooHOOOOOoooooh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
